The rapper is expecting her first child.

Nicki Minaj officially showed off her growing baby bump, three months after hinting at her pregnancy during a fan Q&A back in May. The mom-to-be posted photos from her pregnancy photo shoot from David LaChappelle.

The images feature Minaj in yellow wig and six-inch platforms, along with a campy outfit and a blue wig, and finally a Virgin Mary-esque image.

“Love. Marriage. Baby carriage,” she captioned one of the pics on Monday (July 20). “Overflowing with excitement & gratitude. Thank you all for the well wishes.”

The baby will be the first Minaj and her husband, Kenneth Petty, last October. The couple reportedly began dating a year earlier.

Minaj opened up about marriage on a recent episode of Lil Wayne’s Young Money Radio. “I didn’t think it would be as refreshing and calming as it is,” she gushed. “Even if you’re not married, when you have someone that feels like your soulmate or someone who understands you, it just makes you feel like you’re on top of the world.”
